Subject: External feedback; was Re: [motm] Stuck in a rut (help)

I built an interface to my reel-reel for echo and delay using the cgs-
23 board. Makes for a great preamp.

I added a switchable gain to my multimix.

I added a variable gain to my MOTM-890.

None of these are stereo but the cgs-23 would probably be the easiest
to do. I like the variable gain the best as it seems to work best
across a number of different external units. I've found that some of
my rack units can take pretty high levels also.
